SPRINGFIELD, June 1.-The bad
weather to day severely interfered with
the Sherman reception, at the state
capital as far as out door demonstra-
ton was concerned. About IL o'clock
rain set il which continued at inter
walls making it necessary to abandon
out door demonstrations. Elaborate
preparations had been made in the
way of platform and seats in front Of
the state house. During lull in the
storm about 1000 people occupied the
seats but were driven to the represen
tatves hall by the rain at 2 o'clock.
At this point the committee determin-
ed to remove the demonstration to the
shelter of the state house and the
crowd surged and pressed for the en-
trance to the assembly chamber. In
n short time 2OOO persons crowded
into the galleries capable ordinarily
OF holding 500, and the more favored
to the number of 1900 were admitted
to the floor Of the house. As Senator
Sherman accompanied by Governor
Oglesby. senators Cullim and Farwell
and state officers and members of the
managing committee entered the hall
there was loud and continued ap-
plause, Senator Sherman was
introduced by Governor Oglesby
Sherman after paying glowing tr-
butte to the Illinois statesmen, Douglas
and Logan, gave II sketch of the two
great political pa ties since the repeal
of the Missouri compromise, showing
the position of the republicans and
democratics and the question of war,
emancipation, reconstruction and suf-
frage. Referring to democracy in the
southern states Sherman said there
was not an intelligent man in the
land who does not know Cleveland was
president by virtue of crimes
against the electoral franchise
including murder, arson, ballot box
stufiing, forgery and perjury. but for
which Blaine would now be in his
place. Continuing on this subject he
said "The poison OF the success of
these methods has already affected
the elections in some of the great
cities of the north, especially in Chi
cago and Cincinnati, where, under the
lead of Maclin and Fosney, the crimi-
nal classes adopted some of the
meanest crimes to control the elec.
tions. Why should they not? II
crime should be resorted
to by white democrats of the south to
cheat and intimidate the poor negro
in the south, why should not the white
democrats in the north be permitted
to resort to forgery and perjury to sue,
cessfully change the result of the elec-
ton in the north? Why discriminat,
against Mackin and Fosney by send
ing them to the penitentiary Will,
sending democrats of the south by
means of like offenses to the senat,
and house and to represent the grea
republic in foreign courts? The mission
of the republican party will never
end until every legal voter can cas-
on honest vote and no more and hav
that vote counted" Speaking ON tn
tariff Sherman said the revenues mus
be reduced, but opposed the reduction
Of duties on articles that we ourselye
produce, thus bringing our skilled
artisans in competition with foreign
labor that will inevitably reduce tn
price Of domestic labor.
